[00:00:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Just like a soldier
[00:00:04] [SPEAKER_10]: I keep on moving forward
[00:00:07] [SPEAKER_10]: Always getting closer
[00:00:10] [SPEAKER_10]: March until it's over
[00:00:12] [SPEAKER_10]: And just like a soldier
[00:00:16] [SPEAKER_10]: I keep on moving forward
[00:00:18] [SPEAKER_10]: Always getting closer
[00:00:21] [SPEAKER_10]: I'm marching till it's over
[00:00:24] [SPEAKER_10]: I'm just like a soldier
[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_11]: I can't move anywhere
[00:00:30] [SPEAKER_11]: Always getting closer
[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_11]: March until it's over
[00:00:35] [SPEAKER_11]: I'm just like a soldier
[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_11]: I can't move anywhere
[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_11]: Always getting closer
[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_07]: March until it's over
[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_07]: It's ridiculous
[00:00:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Eat a Elm Eastern Standard Time, so for the rest of you sleepyheads, I do apologize. I am about two hours early
[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_04]: But I do have some other things going on today, so unfortunately I have to pick up some extra work
[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_04]: So how is it going out there in the world? Right?
[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Current events, right?
[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_04]: So the world is... it's Crazy TIMES, just like the title says
[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Crazy TIMES
[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_04]: I am actually trying to pull something up real quick so I can just go straight to breaking news, AOL, whatever have you
[00:01:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Of what's being posted
[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, we are seeing all sorts of things currently going on
[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Everything from internet going down, AT&T, the big issue with pharmacies
[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_04]: But it wasn't just AT&T. There was even on... was it down?
[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_04]: There's one I followed on Down Report
[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_04]: DownDetector.com
[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_04]: It was one I had gone on
[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_04]: And I kid you not, the amount of outages that went across the board
[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_04]: For major cell phone providers, even Google had gone down
[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Are we surprised? No
[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Especially with all the issues that the Chinese hack in
[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_04]: And everything else that's going on
[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_04]: I think let's see right now
[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_04]: In the last 24 hours
[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_04]: The biggest issue that has gone down was Call of Duty
[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Really, I'm not a gamer so for the rest of you who are
[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Sorry to hear that you experienced that but
[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, AT&T stayed down for a while and it looked like they continued to stay down
[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh wow
[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Checking real quick on here
[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Verizon, I haven't had too many issues yet but I'm not surprised
[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_04]: But the thing is, is I'm seeing it across the board
[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm seeing it at work, how it affects our computers
[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_04]: How we can respond to things
[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_04]: How well the phone calls are coming through
[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_04]: This isn't like, oh, you know, telephones are down for just a moment
[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_04]: This is something that is actually affecting everybody
[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Everybody's
[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_04]: It's ridiculous, I mean, you're seeing out there and not only are we seeing craziness
[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_04]: With the internet and with, you know, China
[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_04]: And another balloon flying across which, you know, nothing to worry about folks
[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_04]: What does the media try to cover with?
[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, the New Taylor Swift
[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Who cares?
[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Who gives two shits about those people? I don't
[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't know them from Adam
[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Nothing they can do
[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm more concerned on the things that can affect me
[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Or potentially could affect me
[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_04]: I could give two shits less about the celebrities
[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_04]: And who is doing what? Or as far as what new actor is dating who?
[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_04]: No one cares
[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_04]: No one cares, rephrase
[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Anyone who is prepping and worried about what they are going to do for their life does care
[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Here's one
[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Of course it's coming from NBC
[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Universal Measles is a heat-seeking meese missile
[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Expert warns as Florida outbreak growth
[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, that was something else I encountered
[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Spoke to a young lady who was terrified of the bubonic plague
[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_04]: That had really gotten out of hand
[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_04]: I think it was an organ
[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_04]: And I had to explain to her
[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Even though she's on the other side of the country
[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_04]: The bubonic plague has never really gone away
[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_04]: We still see that
[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_04]: It comes from infected mice
[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_04]: The problem is how it's being tended to
[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_04]: You do see it among homeless and certain issues
[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Maintaining the rat population, maintaining hygiene
[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_04]: There's a lot of factors that go into it
[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_04]: And the reason why it's spreading
[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_04]: A lot of people don't realize these big cities are disgusted
[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_04]: All these people on top of each other
[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_04]: It's trash, it's gross
[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_04]: People are gross
[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_04]: How many times have you seen gum stuck under the bench
[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Or under a tip? Come on
[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_04]: That's disgusting
[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_04]: And you know their hands had to touch all underneath that
[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_04]: To put their gum under there
[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_04]: So, yes, of course there's germs and bacteria
[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_04]: And food and trash being left everywhere
[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Why are we not surprised that people are getting sick?
[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, let's see
[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_04]: ABC News, Russia Strike
[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Hits Ukraine overnight as it marks
[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Second anniversary of invasion
[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't get me started on that
[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_04]: The stuff with the president and everything else
[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Just, yeah, no
[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's see
[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_04]: This one's new
[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Two national guardsmen dead after military helicopter crashes
[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_04]: In Mississippi during a routine flight training
[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_04]: That is actually sad
[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_04]: And a lot of our soldiers
[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_04]: There's been other accidents that have occurred
[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_04]: The marines that passed away
[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_04]: It is absolutely heart breaking
[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's see
[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_04]: It is truly heart breaking
[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_04]: And prayers and thoughts go out to them
[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_04]: But it just goes to show you beyond that
[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_04]: What are we seeing on here?
[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I said, Taylor Swift and Kelsey
[00:06:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Will Katelyn Clark go pro
[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Trump pledges second term
[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Tip for tap tariffs
[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_04]: It's called you screw us, we screw you
[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Not against that
[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_04]: As many times as we've been screwed over as a nation
[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_04]: It's time we actually stand up for ourselves
[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_04]: When did the US become such a sad, sad thing?
[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's see
[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Australian police officer charged with murder and misdemeanour
[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Couple, I mean it's
[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_04]: And this is why you don't look at the news
[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_04]: The amount of stuff that is on here
[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_04]: It's the destruction
[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_04]: The craziness, the sadness
[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_04]: The murder, the mayhem
[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Our world is crazy right now
[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_04]: What is the point of all this?
[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_04]: The point of it is
[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Look around you
[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Look what's going on
[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Outside in this crazy world
[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Look what's going on
[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_04]: If that is not motivation enough
[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Then there is nothing we can do to motivate you
[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_04]: To prepare for yourself
[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Or for the very least for your family
[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_04]: And that's harsh to say
[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_04]: But the thing is I want people to be prepared
[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I want people to look at things from a certain light
[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_04]: And say you know what
[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_04]: I need to make sure this happens
[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_04]: You know what the biggest crazy thing is
[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm on a lot of mom forums
[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Have been over a year since my first child
[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_04]: And I was going through
[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_04]: And the amount of people talking about
[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_04]: The cost of just baby supplies
[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm fortunate enough that my
[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I nurse my son, my six month old
[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Is a breastfed baby
[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_04]: We are going to be starting him on food soon
[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_04]: But the cost of baby formula
[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Is absolutely absurd
[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_04]: I went into the store to take a look
[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Because I'm seeing women post in prices
[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Of 30, 40, 50 up
[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_04]: And I go in and a tiny container
[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Is 20 bucks
[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_04]: And one of the normal size containers
[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_04]: That you see is
[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Oops sorry folks
[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_04]: And a normal size container that you see
[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Anywhere from 30 to 50
[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_04]: No I think there was one that was 63 dollars
[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_04]: 63 dollars for baby formula
[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_04]: It is ridiculous
[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's difficult because it's like
[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_04]: You know when we had there for a while
[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_04]: There was a formula shortage
[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_04]: They're making it impossible
[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_04]: For mothers to be able to take care of their children
[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Diaper prices are slowly on the rise
[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I've noticed that too
[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Which I am down to my last box
[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_04]: The size threes for my son
[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_04]: And so I now need to try to buy
[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Several boxes to put up
[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Just so I can have diapers
[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_04]: I did lock out
[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Anytime I go to the store
[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_04]: I go straight to the clearance aisle
[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Always have
[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_04]: It's just sometimes you find something
[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_04]: That you were originally wanting
[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Or needing marked down dramatically
[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_04]: So when I walked over
[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I've been saying that I needed some cloth diapers
[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Now am I going to start putting them in them now
[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_04]: No
[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_04]: But they are great for an emergency backup
[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_04]: You'd be surprised how many times
[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Cloth diapers have became
[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Are useful in all sorts of settings
[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Outside of being used for babies
[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Cleaning just
[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_04]: When your babies are having upset tummies
[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_04]: They're great burp rugs
[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_04]: They're great for aligning underneath the sheet
[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_04]: You know
[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_04]: If you don't have the pittl pads
[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_04]: There's a lot of uses for them
[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_04]: I walked over
[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_04]: And I found cloth diapers
[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Marked down to two or three dollars a piece
[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_04]: And mind you when I say a piece
[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean two packs of ten padded
[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Like the extra thick padded diapers
[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_04]: For two, three dollars a pack
[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_04]: So I bought them both
[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_04]: I have them
[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to wash them
[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to put them up
[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_04]: We're going to use them
[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean like I said
[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_04]: They're multi-used
[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Multifaceted in how I can use them
[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Great, great item for us
[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Just perfect
[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_04]: And around this time you see people
[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_04]: You see the stories tossing out
[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Where's
[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Look
[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_04]: If you're not able to
[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Make your own winter wear
[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_04]: If you're not able to buy wool
[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Or buy anything that's handmade
[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Or certain items
[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Then go look at the clearance item
[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_04]: I'll because right now
[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_04]: They have a bunch of wool beanies
[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Gloves, earmuffs, all of that
[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Even everything over there
[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Marked down for a few bucks a piece
[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_04]: You know this is your time
[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_04]: If you are on a budget
[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_04]: But you want to make sure your family has
[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_04]: What they need
[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_04]: That's what I used to do
[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Is I would always go over there
[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Stock up on several things
[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes I understand that
[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_04]: I can make my own winter wear
[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_04]: And I typically do
[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_04]: But children grow fast
[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_04]: And sometimes you're found in situations
[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Where you don't necessarily have
[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_04]: One of your handmade items on you
[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_04]: So I always kept extra hats
[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_04]: And gloves and mitts
[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_04]: And everything else in the house
[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Or in my vehicle
[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_04]: For those few times that we weren't ready
[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_04]: And we were caught off guard
[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Or we were out doing something with the kids
[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_04]: And another kid comes running up
[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_04]: And you can tell they're cold
[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_04]: What's a one dollar hat
[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_04]: To give the child that no one else has worn
[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Or a pair of gloves
[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean come on
[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Thinking ahead is a big thing
[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_04]: It's not a discredit to my skill set
[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Or your skill set
[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_04]: But it never hurts to have an expensive backup
[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Just for those situations
[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah they're not the most ideal material
[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_04]: From the wool or the Angora
[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_04]: But you know what
[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_04]: They work
[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_04]: And if buying something like that
[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Keeps your hands or your children's hands warm
[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Or your head or your ears
[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Or keeps you away from getting sick
[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Or frostbitten
[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Then why not?
[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Absolutely do it
[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Take the opportunity
[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I keep talking about
[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_04]: The last few shows I've had
[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_04]: About saving
[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_04]: About budgeting
[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_04]: These are situations where
[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes you may see it as an extra
[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Five ten dollar expense
[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_04]: But that five ten dollars
[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Is five ten dollars
[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_04]: That you don't have to spend thirty
[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Or forty dollars for
[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean a lot of these are
[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Marked down for what one two dollars
[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Fifty cents
[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Add that up
[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_04]: That's quite a bit
[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Because if you try to buy it
[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_04]: During the season
[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_04]: When you need it
[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_04]: It's not going to cost
[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Fifty cents to a dollar
[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Or two dollars
[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_04]: It's going to cost anywhere
[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_04]: From five to fifteen
[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_04]: And upwards
[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_04]: It's not
[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_04]: It's not feasible
[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean think about it
[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_04]: How is it?
[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Is it smarter to buy it
[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_04]: While it's cheaper
[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_04]: And then have it when you need it
[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Then all of a sudden realize
[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_04]: You don't have anything
[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Going there and you're buying twice
[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_04]: You're paying twice the amount
[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_04]: It doesn't make sense
[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_04]: It just doesn't
[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean that's the same with
[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Anything you may need
[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_04]: So this one was a silly thing
[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_04]: That I just wanted
[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_04]: In a sense
[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_04]: We are beach goers here
[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_04]: I have a six month old
[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_04]: You know it's not one of those things
[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Where I can just go straight down to the beach
[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_04]: And have them directly in the sun
[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Not if I'm trying to be
[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Smart about it
[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_04]: And so for me
[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_04]: I've been looking at this little half
[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Beach pop up thing
[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Or beach tent that you put together
[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's just one of those things
[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Where it's normally 22 dollars
[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_04]: And when I found it
[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_04]: I found two left on clearance
[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_04]: For 11 dollars
[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_04]: I bought it
[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Because this is one I've been looking at
[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_04]: I want to be able to go to the beach
[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_04]: On a nice day
[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_04]: And I want to be able to have my son
[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_04]: On the beach and not worry about the sand
[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Irritating his skin
[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Or him potentially getting a sunburn
[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's actually nice enough
[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_04]: We could take with us to the park
[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_04]: And set up and still have some shade
[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_04]: And still enjoy it
[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's not like it's going to be a one
[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_04]: One use item
[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_04]: We are going to use it multiple times
[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_04]: So I mean some things there
[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Are things that we want
[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_04]: And you got to realize
[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Take a look at what it is your goal
[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Is or what it is you're wanting
[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Because a lot of things right now
[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Are getting marked down
[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Not because
[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_04]: You know they're trying to get you to spend money
[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Well they're always trying to get you to spend money
[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_04]: But because of the fact
[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_04]: That they're bringing in new things
[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_04]: It's tax time come March
[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Everybody's getting their returns
[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Everybody's spending money
[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_04]: You know why do you want what we had
[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Last season when you can have the new
[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_04]: And improved and triple the price
[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_04]: No thank you
[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_04]: No no thank you
[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_04]: You know all of this leads back
[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_04]: To saving and prepping for your family
[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_04]: What are you doing for them
[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_04]: What are you doing to make life
[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Just a little bit easier
[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes I understand that
[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Well Jordan why would I go buy gloves
[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_04]: And hats right now
[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_04]: When we just don't have this
[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_04]: You know what vacuum sill them
[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Put them in a gallon sized zip lock bag
[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Press out all the year
[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay compacts it down really small
[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_04]: And put it in your winter clothes
[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Put it in your winter drawer
[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Or wherever it is you do
[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_04]: I change out our seasonal clothing
[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_04]: I always leave one or two items
[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_04]: From each season only because
[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_04]: The weather could change
[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I could decide I want a sweater
[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_04]: During the summer for whatever reason
[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Whether I'm cold inside
[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Or I know I'm going to the doctor's office
[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Or going somewhere to have tests done
[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_04]: And I know they keep it like a
[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Meat locker
[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_04]: But I vacuum sill our clothes up
[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_04]: I have one of those large
[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Zip lock ones yes
[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_04]: It is not necessarily a cheap
[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Expenditure
[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_04]: But it pays for itself
[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Because I've used it many times when moving
[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_04]: I've used it for putting clothes up
[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_04]: For getting things out of the way
[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_04]: And it works
[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_04]: It works for us
[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Do the same with what you
[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_04]: If it's clothing or wears that you know
[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_04]: You don't have to use right now we'll sill it up
[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean I used to do the same
[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_04]: With my children's stuff I'd go and I'd buy them coats
[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Two or three sizes ahead
[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_04]: And then
[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_04]: To not take up so much space
[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_04]: You vacuum sill it up
[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Put it in a tote
[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Guess what? You're good for next season
[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_04]: One less thing to worry about
[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_04]: One less expenditure that you're
[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Trying to scrounge together in a pinch
[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_04]: When come next season
[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_04]: You don't know what's happened
[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_04]: You could have been laid off
[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Or your job could have cut back hours
[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Where you had an unexpected
[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Expense come up
[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_04]: That you just can't afford to put out
[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_04]: For the extra now I know we're not
[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Going to let our children go without
[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_04]: I know we're not but it's the fact
[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_04]: That it takes that
[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Burden or that stress
[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Off your back of what you could encounter
[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Prepping is a security
[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Blanket it is
[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_04]: A sense of
[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Peace and ease and everything
[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_04]: That is crazy and mad
[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_04]: And just
[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Outright off about this entire world
[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean it
[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_04]: And I had been trying to find
[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_04]: A clip of the song Mad World
[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Because I feel like it fits
[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_04]: So well for this
[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_04]: The work you know that's the thing is
[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_04]: We have to be that level of
[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Peace
[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_04]: We have to be that level of composure
[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_04]: We have to be that
[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Foundation
[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_04]: When everything else around us has gone
[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Mad
[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_04]: And I know
[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_04]: There are times we want to rip out our own hair
[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_04]: And we want to say I can't
[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_04]: I can't do this
[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Or we want to cop out and say
[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what we're going to do
[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm broke
[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh if this situation happens we're just
[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Fopped
[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_04]: No, that's given up
[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_04]: That's copping out
[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_04]: That is
[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Letting every bit of darkness
[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Around you win
[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_04]: When that's not how this works
[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_04]: I understand
[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_04]: That times are tough
[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_04]: I understand that money
[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Is stretched as far as it can go
[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I get that
[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Trust me I get that
[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_04]: You are not preaching to anyone
[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Who hasn't been to that
[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Or is currently going through that
[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_04]: I absolutely understand
[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_04]: But there are ways
[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_04]: And means to making sure that you
[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Are able to provide
[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_04]: And do for your family
[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Guess what
[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_04]: I understand there are things we enjoy in life
[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Do you have to have those
[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Four streaming networks
[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_04]: You know what I'm talking about
[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah
[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_04]: The Netflix
[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Prime
[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Fulu
[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_04]: YouTube TV
[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean the list goes on
[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Of the streaming networks
[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Paramount and HBO
[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Are you really gaining anything from those
[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, I understand they're nice
[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_04]: And they're enjoyable but you know there's a lot of
[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Other places you can see
[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Films or movies that are free
[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_04]: There's a lot of networks that offer it
[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_04]: If you have
[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_04]: A phone plan a lot of those combine
[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Regardless
[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Of whether you want the streaming app with it
[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_04]: My spectrum for my internet
[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Which I have to have for work
[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Actually combines
[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Some TV
[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_04]: In my package for free
[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, a lot of
[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_04]: A lot of places do that
[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Is that extra
[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Membership to something that
[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_04]: You know that zoo membership
[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_04]: How often are you taking the kids to zoo
[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Now I'm not saying
[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Or trying to tell you to take things away from your children
[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_04]: I understand you want to keep them happy
[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_04]: But
[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_04]: You know you got to look down
[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Break it down are there other things you can do
[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_04]: That aren't going to cost as much
[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Are there other things that
[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Are free where you could take
[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_04]: The kids for hikes
[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_04]: You can, you know I understand
[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_04]: That you are
[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_04]: When you are out and about
[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Or you're spending money to go
[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_04]: To the garden
[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Sorry, I just got a message
[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_04]: So when you're out
[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_04]: You know let the kids help you
[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Plant, yes it is chaotic
[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_04]: But you know what
[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_04]: It's okay, kids don't learn
[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_04]: By just standing back
[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_04]: And watching
[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Kids have to get their hands dirty
[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Kids have to learn and fall
[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_04]: And giggle and fart
[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes that's just how kids work
[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_04]: It is
[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Let them roll in the mud, let them get dirty
[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Have a day where they get to play
[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Outside in the water hose
[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_04]: And make a mess of things outside
[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_04]: That's things you don't get back
[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Those are laughter
[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_04]: And tears of joy that you
[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Get to enjoy and those are memories
[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Because
[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_04]: After the sixth visit to the zoo
[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_04]: They all kind of run together
[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_04]: I remember each of my visits
[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_04]: To the zoo because I didn't go very often
[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_04]: So yes that was fun but if I
[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Had gone all the time I don't think I would have enjoyed it
[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Then again I wasn't a big
[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Zoo person but
[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_04]: That's besides the point
[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_04]: It's the fact that there are other things
[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_04]: You can do
[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_04]: I do have where
[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Every so often when I'm able to
[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_04]: I stock up
[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_04]: On canvases, I always keep
[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I always have a lot of acrylic
[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Pain on me because
[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_04]: For those of you who don't know
[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_04]: I enjoy painting, I enjoy
[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Letting my children express
[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_04]: That and let them paint
[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Whatever they want, however they want
[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_04]: I
[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Have used painting
[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_04]: As an outlet for me
[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_04]: When
[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm stressed or upset that I
[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Have a few canvases I've worked on
[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_04]: In which I'll paint
[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_04]: And then I hand stitch
[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_04]: The artwork into it
[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_04]: It is tedious and it is time consuming
[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_04]: But I love it
[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_04]: So for me when things seem
[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Bleak
[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Or stressful
[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I turn to painting
[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Now do I understand that
[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_04]: That is an expenditure? Absolutely
[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_04]: The only good thing for me
[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Is I don't do it all the time
[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_04]: So the one time I decide hey
[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_04]: I can afford this
[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I make sure I have plenty
[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_04]: And it typically it's for my kids
[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_04]: You know every now and then I'll be like
[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_04]: You know I want to paint with them
[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_04]: But being able to watch them
[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_04]: And see them be creative
[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_04]: You know for me I've been fortunate enough
[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_04]: That my crocheting and my
[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Sewing has paid for itself
[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_04]: So I don't have
[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_04]: To dip into certain things yes
[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_04]: There was a baseline in which I did
[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_04]: But
[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_04]: For what we do
[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Outside of things that
[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't have a practicality or use
[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_04]: You always
[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Invest in what you're doing
[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Prepping is an investment
[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_04]: The first year of canon
[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Is a big
[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Spend but it is
[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_04]: A baseline investment because
[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_04]: By year three you have made up
[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_04]: All of the money
[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_04]: I'd say not even by year three
[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_04]: But for
[00:25:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Definite I think it would be before
[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_04]: But definitively by year three
[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_04]: You've made up
[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_04]: In your expenses
[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_04]: For your canon
[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_04]: And the items that you've bought
[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_04]: As long as you're consistently canon
[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Or trying to you have made up
[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_04]: For those expenses because it is an
[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Investment that pays
[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_04]: For itself
[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_04]: My first you know my investment
[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_04]: In a good sewing machine
[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Has paid for
[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Itself I do hand embroidery
[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_04]: My well I
[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_04]: I wouldn't say I bought this I've received
[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_04]: This sewing machine I have currently
[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_04]: As a Christmas gift from my mother
[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_04]: That has
[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_04]: An embroidery machine built into it
[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Now it is
[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_04]: A much older model
[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Which I have to update
[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_04]: But it has saved me in a pinch
[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_04]: For those of you who follow my instagram
[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_04]: And saw where we

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_04]: In a hand stitch his onesie
[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Because I crocheted

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_04]: His pants from od bdus
[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_04]: You know I made as much
[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_04]: As I could for as little
[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_04]: As I could because I used
[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_04]: You know older
[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Bdus cut him up and
[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_04]: I made him made him close
[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_04]: It works so
[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_04]: You don't have to break
[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_04]: The bank to take care
[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Of your family there are
[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_04]: But
[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_04]: But remember
[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_04]: What you do to take
[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Care of your family
[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Is an investment
[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_04]: It's not you being idle
[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Just being wasteful as long as
[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_04]: You're putting food up for your family
[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Because there's going to be a day where
[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe your check is a little bit tighter
[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Or a little bit shorter than what you were hoping
[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_04]: For because little sally was sick last week
[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Or whatever it be
[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Then
[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Then you have
[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_04]: One less meal you have to worry about buying
[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_04]: For
[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Invest in your life
[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Invest in your family because
[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_04]: The craziness around us
[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Is not going to stop
[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_04]: The craziest craziness
[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Around us is
[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_04]: If anything is only going to get
[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Larger and grow
[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_04]: And be even more chaotic
[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Than what we thought before
[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean if you think
[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_04]: About it it's kind of like
[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_04]: The shirt in the
[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_04]: February is calm amongst the chaos
[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Right calm within chaos
[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_04]: You have to be that for your family
[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_04]: You have to be that for yourself
[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_04]: And give yourself grace
[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Give your loved ones grace
[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Because it's not easy
[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_04]: And I understand it is stressful
[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Entire some
[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_04]: But you can do it
[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Or all making it through
[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_04]: We all are going through some hard times
[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_04]: And some very stressful moments
[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_04]: And some very stressful moments
[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_04]: And are just
[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Exhausted
[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I can tell you right now
[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_04]: I am absolutely
[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Completely exhausted
[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_04]: And if I could lay down
[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_04]: And sleep for a week straight
[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I would
[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't think I wouldn't
[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_04]: But my family
[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Is countnamby
[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Regardless of how I'm feeling
[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Regardless of what is going on
[00:28:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Regardless of
[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_04]: The world around me
[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_04]: My family is still countnamby
[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_04]: That should be enough drive
[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_04]: You should be your own motivation
[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_04]: I refuse to give up
[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_04]: And not try anymore
[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_04]: I refuse
[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_04]: I just realized my mug
[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Is out of water
[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_04]: But it's just
[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_04]: You gotta realize there's a lot going on

[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Everyone has such
[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_04]: A opportunity
[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_04]: And the ability to do things
[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Even when you don't think
[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_04]: You have the strength to go on through the hard times
[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Even if you don't think
[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_04]: You have the money
[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Or the power
[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_04]: I promise you, you do
[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_04]: More than you realize
[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Then yes, sometimes it's empty
[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_04]: In all the couch cushions for that
[00:31:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Little bit of extra change
[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_04]: To get by sometimes
[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_04]: I get it, been there
[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Done that
[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Many a times and not long ago
[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_04]: That is the way of the world
[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Plan out your meals
[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Plan out what your family needs
[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_04]: You don't have to have the fanciest
[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Gidgets or gadgets
[00:31:29] [SPEAKER_04]: To be able to take care of your family
[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_04]: You don't
[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Never understood those full electronic
[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Homes, nothing against the individuals
[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Who do, you know, to each their own
[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_04]: You like it, I love it
[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Not my cup of tea
[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_04]: I still use a
[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_04]: P28 can opener
[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Because every can opener I've ever owned
[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Either dies
[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Or breaks
[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_04]: And it is the one can opener
[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_04]: That has worked consistently
[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Every time
[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, does it take a little bit?
[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah
[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_04]: But I like it
[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_04]: I like my can opener
[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_04]: It works, we know where it's at
[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_04]: We all know how to use it
[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_04]: No problems there
[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_04]: And believe it or not, it's a can opener
[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_04]: One of my, I think my son
[00:32:15] [SPEAKER_04]: My son bought me for Christmas
[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Years ago, it has like a little
[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Mini spoon on it or something
[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_04]: He bought it for me
[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_04]: When he was probably about
[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Six or seven
[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_04]: With his own money
[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_04]: And
[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_04]: I still use it today
[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_04]: It has been my
[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_04]: trusty utensil
[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_04]: In the kitchen, regardless
[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Every
[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Electric can opener, every hand can opener
[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_04]: They all break so easily
[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_04]: And that one has worked
[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Tried and true throughout
[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_04]: All these years, and he's now 14
[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_04]: So what, seven or eight years now?
[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_04]: That tells you something
[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes some of the best things
[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_04]: You can have are the odor
[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Are the less fancy
[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, sometimes do they take a little bit
[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_04]: More work? Absolutely
[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_04]: But that's okay
[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, if you are
[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Not a big time listener
[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_04]: All the time

[00:34:15] [SPEAKER_04]: We go through the same hardships
[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_04]: We go through the same heartache and pain
[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_04]: And that's just
[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_04]: The way of the world

[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_04]: But yes, he goes live
[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_04]: You can get it where you can be
[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Notified when he goes live
[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's great
[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_04]: It's just great, it's just a short little clip
[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Almost a little bit longer
[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Than a daily audio cache
[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_04]: But he covers things in there
[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, you get to see
[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_04]: The intrepid commander directly himself

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_04]: To come on air
[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_04]: And hopefully
[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Open some eyes to pay attention
[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_04]: I know we all get
[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Very narrow visioned
[00:35:36] [SPEAKER_04]: With what's going on around us
[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I am just as guilty
[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_04]: As everybody else
[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_04]: But take a second
[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_04]: And just pay attention
[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_04]: To what's going on around you
[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_04]: There are signs
[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Everywhere
[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Of what's going on
[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_04]: The chaos itself
[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_04]: There are
[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_04]: It's more than apparent
[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_04]: So do what you can
[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_04]: To take care of your family
[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Grow your own food
[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_04]: If you can't do a lot
[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Try growing tomatoes this year
[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Try growing anything
[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Just try
[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Your own herbs or lettuce
[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Or
[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Sweet potatoes
[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Potatoes and sweet potatoes are so easy
[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_04]: And so much fun
[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_04]: The kids enjoy that
[00:36:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Take the time and effort to do
[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_04]: More for yourself
[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Like James is live
[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_04]: He had mentioned the other day about buying
[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_04]: The big
[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Bulk containers of season
[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_04]: And like he said
[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_04]: You may not use a lot
[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Just do it
[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_04]: In the long run you're going to save yourself
[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_04]: So much money and it's so much cheaper
[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_04]: It really is
[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_04]: And you're talking to someone
[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Who figures in every cent
[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_04]: When I go shopping
[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_04]: It is so much cheaper
[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_04]: And so much more of a save
[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_04]: In the long run
[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_04]: And you can put up extra
[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_04]: And not have to worry
[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_04]: If you don't want to
[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Then make your own
[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_04]: You know
[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Grow some onions
[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Or buy onions and dehydrate them
[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_04]: And powder them
[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to tell you right now though
[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_04]: If you dehydrate your own onions or garlic
[00:37:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Do not have the dehydrator in the house
[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Please do not
[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_04]: You will burn yourself up
[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_04]: With the smell and burn your eyes
[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's intense
[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_04]: It is super intense
[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I've done it in a garage
[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_04]: And had to keep the garage open the entire time
[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_04]: The dehydrator was running
[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Because the smell
[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Is stout
[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Beyond stout
[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Alright
[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_04]: So I do, I'm dying of thirst here
[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to go to a quick commercial
[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_04]: And then I will be right back

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_04]: And we see it time and time again
[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_04]: So you know what
[00:39:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Be that threat
[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Be that force that
[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Everybody else has to reckon with
[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_04]: They will either envy you
[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Or hate you
[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I'd rather know that my family is taken
[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Care of by myself
[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Than ever have 100 million people like me
[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Because I don't care
[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_04]: And you shouldn't either what other people think
[00:40:18] [SPEAKER_04]: You should be content
[00:40:20] [SPEAKER_04]: With the morning walks to your garden
[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_04]: And gathering the eggs
[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Or feeding the sheep
[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Or your pigs or goats
[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Or whatever it is
[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Set yourself a goal
[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Start somewhere
[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_04]: It doesn't have to be big
[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_04]: But make sure you do what you need to do
[00:40:39] [SPEAKER_04]: To take care of your family
[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Because when it comes down to it
[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_04]: The government and the big
[00:40:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Societies or whatever
[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_04]: You want to call them factions
[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Are not going to be the ones
[00:40:53] [SPEAKER_04]: To take care of you
[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Our nation and society
[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Has put people to be so
[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Depended upon it
[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_04]: That they have crippled our nation
[00:41:03] [SPEAKER_04]: In a whole
[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_04]: People are so crippled
[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_04]: By being co-dependent
[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Upon
[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_04]: All of these in assistance
[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Now I'm not telling people to not go out there
[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_04]: And receive assistance that they need it
[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_04]: By no means am I telling you that
[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_04]: But understand
[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_04]: That you can do things to take care of yourself
[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_04]: And to take care of your family
[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_04]: And when it comes down to it
[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_04]: And shit hits the fan
[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_04]: You are going to be the only person
[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Looking out for you and your own family
[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_04]: And that unfortunately is true
[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's the way of the world
[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_04]: So
[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Be mindful
[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Give yourself grace
[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_04]: And try to put yourself
[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_04]: In a situation where you
[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Can see it from all sorts of situations
[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Play the what if game
[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Play it
[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_04]: But don't put yourself into a corner
[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_04]: And say there's nothing I can do
[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm broke
[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_04]: I can't do this, refucked
[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Nope, that's a cop out
[00:42:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I promise you there is always something
[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Sit down, write up
[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Every expense that you have if you have to
[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_04]: And even if it's only
[00:42:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Say then 50 cents a paycheck
[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Do it
[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_04]: What expenses are
[00:42:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Something you actually need
[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_04]: And what expenses
[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Are just something that you want
[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_04]: And when it comes down to it
[00:42:29] [SPEAKER_04]: If you are
[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_04]: In that type of situation
[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_04]: You'll always figure out a way
[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_04]: To make sure that your family
[00:42:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Is never in need
[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_04]: That you'll find a way
[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_04]: To be able to
[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Manage
[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_04]: The situations
[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_04]: That you can do this
[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_04]: That you can take care of your family
[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_04]: I've been on many of hard times
[00:42:55] [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm currently going through some of the hardest times
[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_04]: But I'm not letting that bring me down
[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm not
[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Going to let that stop me
[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_04]: From taking care of my family
[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Or prepping
[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Or moving
[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_04]: About and doing what I need to do
[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not
[00:43:17] [SPEAKER_04]: And neither should you
[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_04]: There are going to be days where we are tired
[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_04]: And we hurt
[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_04]: And I know I'm repeating myself
[00:43:24] [SPEAKER_04]: But it's the facts
[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_04]: You're going to be tired
[00:43:27] [SPEAKER_04]: You're going to be hurtin
[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_04]: You're going to be drained emotionally
[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Mentally even financially
[00:43:34] [SPEAKER_04]: But we don't give up
[00:43:36] [SPEAKER_04]: We never give up
[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_04]: That's why we as preppers
[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Want to learn as many skills as we can
[00:43:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Why we want to be
[00:43:45] [SPEAKER_04]: As self-sufficient
[00:43:47] [SPEAKER_04]: And independent as we can be
[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_04]: I get it, you don't have a lot of money
[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_04]: To buy a bunch of pots of soil
[00:43:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Or bags of soil or whatever
[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Make a little square in your yard
[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Doesn't have to be very big
[00:44:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Dig it up a little bit, turn it
[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Do what you got to
[00:44:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Start a little compost in that same spot
[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_04]: And turn it and throw it down in there
[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_04]: And dig it up and turn it over
[00:44:11] [SPEAKER_04]: And garden
[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, what about the animals?
[00:44:16] [SPEAKER_04]: You know what? I am dealing with the same thing
[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_04]: With my neighbor's cats deciding
[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_04]: That my flower bed or my little
[00:44:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Raised garden is their litter box
[00:44:24] [SPEAKER_04]: So what am I doing?
[00:44:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm getting some nedon
[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Nedon is pretty inexpensive
[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm sure I have some somewhere
[00:44:33] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm using
[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_04]: The
[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Stakes from
[00:44:38] [SPEAKER_04]: The tomato plants because I can buy them cheap
[00:44:40] [SPEAKER_04]: The green ones
[00:44:42] [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm zip tying them to that
[00:44:43] [SPEAKER_04]: All the way around to my little porch fence
[00:44:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Just to keep
[00:44:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, is it extra work for me? Yes
[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_04]: But I'm putting two posts on one so I can be able to
[00:44:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Pull it out and move it when I need to
[00:44:54] [SPEAKER_04]: But I can still leave a loose
[00:44:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Zip tie at the top of the other green one
[00:45:00] [SPEAKER_04]: So I can slide it in there
[00:45:01] [SPEAKER_04]: And use it as like a lock
[00:45:02] [SPEAKER_04]: So I can try to keep my neighbor's
[00:45:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Cats out of it
[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_04]: There is always a way
[00:45:12] [SPEAKER_04]: You will always find
[00:45:13] [SPEAKER_04]: A means to be able to do it
[00:45:16] [SPEAKER_04]: I have
[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_04]: And a ridiculous amount of
[00:45:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Zip ties
[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Some I bought, some I have accrued over the years
[00:45:23] [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm sure someone has zip ties
[00:45:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Around you if you need them to do the same thing with yours
[00:45:27] [SPEAKER_04]: But there are ways around it
[00:45:30] [SPEAKER_04]: You don't have to
[00:45:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Spend a ridiculous amount of money
[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_04]: But it never hurts
[00:45:36] [SPEAKER_04]: When you're sitting down in your budget
[00:45:37] [SPEAKER_04]: And that hey, I would like to put up
[00:45:40] [SPEAKER_04]: $5 every paycheck
[00:45:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Towards our summer garden
[00:45:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Why? Because well
[00:45:45] [SPEAKER_04]: We have pays for itself
[00:45:47] [SPEAKER_04]: In the long run
[00:45:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Of us getting, you know, squash
[00:45:51] [SPEAKER_04]: And cucumbers and fruits
[00:45:53] [SPEAKER_04]: And vegetables and greens
[00:45:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Which saves you a lot of money
[00:45:57] [SPEAKER_04]: In the long run from the store because
[00:45:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Oy
[00:46:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Those prices are not going down
[00:46:02] [SPEAKER_04]: And they're not going to go down anytime soon
[00:46:06] [SPEAKER_04]: We're not in the world where
[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Gas was $0.89 a gallon
[00:46:11] [SPEAKER_04]: And that was high
[00:46:13] [SPEAKER_04]: We're not in a world where a loaf of bread
[00:46:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Used to be only $0.89
[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_04]: And that was high
[00:46:21] [SPEAKER_04]: We're not
[00:46:22] [SPEAKER_04]: In the world
[00:46:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Where a simple can
[00:46:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Of vegetables was $0.50
[00:46:29] [SPEAKER_04]: And that
[00:46:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Was
[00:46:32] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, wasn't low
[00:46:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Is what I mean to be saying
[00:46:35] [SPEAKER_04]: That was kind of high
[00:46:40] [SPEAKER_04]: And you know
[00:46:43] [SPEAKER_04]: The sad thing is the $0.50 a can
[00:46:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Was just three years ago
[00:46:48] [SPEAKER_04]: If that
[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_04]: I know it's $0.80 a can
[00:46:53] [SPEAKER_04]: And up
[00:46:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Prices are not
[00:46:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Going to go down
[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_04]: So we have to be prepared
[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_04]: To feed our family
[00:47:02] [SPEAKER_04]: And when we take the time
[00:47:05] [SPEAKER_04]: To
[00:47:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Invest in ourselves
[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_04]: And invest in our loved ones
[00:47:09] [SPEAKER_04]: We make it work
[00:47:11] [SPEAKER_04]: And in the long run
[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_04]: We're not spending that much money
[00:47:15] [SPEAKER_04]: On everything
[00:47:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I said in the previous show
[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_04]: You can make a mill
[00:47:21] [SPEAKER_04]: When we set it down I was talking to my partner
[00:47:23] [SPEAKER_04]: I was talking to Chris about the mills I make
[00:47:26] [SPEAKER_04]: And I was telling her all of you all can make it
[00:47:28] [SPEAKER_04]: For $10 to $20 for a family
[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_04]: It's not even that much
[00:47:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Because I gave the total
[00:47:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Of an entire bag of potatoes
[00:47:36] [SPEAKER_04]: As $5 but I can get
[00:47:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Four mills
[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Three or four mills from the bag
[00:47:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Depending on the size of the potatoes
[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_04]: And how big of a bag
[00:47:44] [SPEAKER_04]: I can
[00:47:47] [SPEAKER_04]: So
[00:47:49] [SPEAKER_04]: You can feed your family
[00:47:51] [SPEAKER_04]: At a reasonable price
[00:47:53] [SPEAKER_04]: And you know what I think
[00:47:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I am going to
[00:47:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Write up some of the mills that I make
[00:48:00] [SPEAKER_04]: I am going to
[00:48:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Write out the recipes
[00:48:03] [SPEAKER_04]: So if anyone is interested
[00:48:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Let me know
[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_04]: And I am going to write next to it
[00:48:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Roughly the cost
[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Of what it is
[00:48:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Per person
[00:48:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Or per mill
[00:48:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Or per dinner set meal
[00:48:19] [SPEAKER_04]: And I think that would be
[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Some way to show you that
[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_04]: We don't have to break the bank
[00:48:25] [SPEAKER_04]: To make ends meet
[00:48:29] [SPEAKER_04]: And I would love to hear
[00:48:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Some easy
[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Or some cheap
[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Or cost effective mills
[00:48:38] [SPEAKER_04]: That
[00:48:38] [SPEAKER_04]: You make
[00:48:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Or that you plan or prep for
[00:48:42] [SPEAKER_04]: I would love to hear this because I think this is where
[00:48:45] [SPEAKER_04]: It really starts
[00:48:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Is being able to plan
[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Just your mills
[00:48:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Is a great start
[00:48:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Is an amazing start
[00:48:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Alright folks
[00:48:56] [SPEAKER_04]: I do have to get off here
[00:48:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Remember the world is crazy
[00:49:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Doesn't mean you have to be
[00:49:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Keep your head up
[00:49:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I understand it can get discouraging
[00:49:08] [SPEAKER_04]: But this is what PBN is here for
[00:49:10] [SPEAKER_04]: We are here to be your family
[00:49:13] [SPEAKER_04]: We are here to be
[00:49:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Your ears and your shoulders
[00:49:17] [SPEAKER_04]: And
[00:49:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Anything else that you may need
[00:49:20] [SPEAKER_04]: And I do hope you have
[00:49:22] [SPEAKER_04]: An amazing weekend
[00:49:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you all, I do appreciate it
[00:49:27] [SPEAKER_04]: And I do hope
[00:49:31] [SPEAKER_04]: You know
[00:49:32] [SPEAKER_04]: I do hope you don't give up on yourselves
[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_04]: No matter how hard it gets
[00:49:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't give up
[00:49:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Alright folks
[00:49:40] [SPEAKER_04]: I do see the chat is coming in
[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Unfortunately today was a short one
[00:49:43] [SPEAKER_04]: And I had to play early
[00:49:45] [SPEAKER_04]: But I have to go
[00:49:46] [SPEAKER_04]: And I do appreciate all the birthday wishes
[00:49:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you all
[00:49:50] [SPEAKER_04]: And everybody have an amazing weekend
[00:49:53] [SPEAKER_04]: And a great week and I will see you
